Dredging up an old thread.
I want to do some inshore fishing this winter while the V is in the garage for a rebuild. I still have the 18 Fisherman. Would yall run this boat in the shape the stringers are in? I will patch the cap to make it structural again. It wont be pretty, I dont care. I have a trailer and I can put the 2.5L Mercury on it, after some cosmetic changes. I need an honest opinion. I just want to get ten gallons of fuel and have my one weekend a month break to go fish. Just a dirt cheap inshore rig.

Looking at the boat today, it wont be too hard to repair the cap. The floor is solid. She has a new transom. I will need to run wiring, hook up the bilge pump from the V20, I can fill the livewell with a bucket. I have to hook up nav liggts. I will not have to purchase alot of items to get her seaworthy and safe. All I need to purchase is a stern light, vhf, throttle and shift cables for the Merc and maybe a tach. What kind of range can I expect on a 200 Mercury 2.5l with 12 gallons of fuel pushing the 18 just on plane?
